Women’s Day: Women Are Travelling More Independently And Intentionally

This Women’s Day, you will be surprised to know that there has been 34% increase in pre-booked meals, 23.7% rise in seat selection and 33.2% growth in baggage add-ons.

Dubai & London Among Top Destinations For Women Travellers

But now you must be curious to know where these Indian women are heading for their holidays. Destinations like Dubai, Denpasar, London, Colombo and Singapore are leading the charts. The reasons?

Talking about domestic destinations, travel interest has also been recorded beyond the usual touristy cities. Cities like Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur and Darbhanga have seen significant booking jumps. This means that improved air connectivity in India is opening up newer routes. This makes it easier for women to travel more easily across regions.

Many women, including those travelling solo or with their girlies, are also opting to stay in budget or mid-range hotels. This is a great option if you want to plan an affordable holiday.
